Brian the Giant
A lively and engaging Starters title for beginner readers, from bestselling author Vivian French and much-loved illustrator Sue Heap, with a friendly text and stylish two-colour illustrations.
Brian the Giant is part of Walker Starters, the wonderfully fun and friendly series for beginner readers. Brian the Giant loves eating muffins – but he hates making them. When someone starts stealing his muffins, he finds a VERY special way of finding out who it is! This is a charming and uplifting story told through a range of writing styles, including hand-lettered speech bubbles and recipes. The illustrations, which appear on every page, are lively and stylish, and play an active part in helping children understand the text.
